April

No matter where your travels take you in Italy in April, there are many holidays and festivals that are localized and not celebrated country-wide, it’s a good idea to ask us the local calendar of events. Rome celebrates its founding day in April so there are many interesting events and celebrations in the city. In April Venice celebrates it patron Saint’s day so there are many festivities, Cremona hosts the Chess Festival and Ladispoli the artichoke food festival while Milan is welcoming important events and exhibitions.

May

May is the month of the opening of EXPO 2015 in Milan, an important event not only for Milan but also for all the country for the next six months. May is a perfect month to travel through Italy and gardens are blooming all over in May. During this month Florence’s iris garden open only during a few weeks in May. You can take a luxury charter yacht and sail around, enjoy the ballooning over Italy, take long walks in the mountain and sweet Tuscany hills and there are many beautiful places to practice also different sports like rafting, hydrospeed and others. May is also the month for Italy’s biggest bike race, the three-week Giro d’Italia and the route for the Giro changes every year.

June

June is the right month to go beyond Italy’s big three – Rome, Milan and Venice – to find idyllic destinations with a rich mix of architectural gems, enchanting countryside and beautiful beaches. Besides this month brings many festivals even in smaller villages. You may wish to play golf? Nothing easier. We also recommend a cruise or a luxury charter yacht to relax in one of the most beautiful places in Sardinia, Sicily, Amalfi Coast that await you!

July

Italy can be a wonderful place to visit during the summer but central months are the peak of tourist season and beaches, mountains and cities fill with tourists. In July all major cities offer plenty of opportunities to enjoy festivals, fairs, concerts and artistic initiatives. Some are historical, others are dedicated to food or local produce, all of them guarantee the possibility to experience some traditional Italian fun. Do not forget the beaches of Sardinia, or little resort towns in Puglia, the charming Sicily, the cheerful Emilia’Romagna’s coast, the breathtaking Portofino and Amalfi Coast.

August

The month of August is the month of holiday for Italians. August is the month to enjoy the cities of art, in small towns, on the beaches or in the cool of the mountains. Italy Creative recommends a tour in the cities of art and in smaller centers to attend local and unique events. Charter a yacht and discover the thrill of live Italy from the sea! Sardinia, Sicily, Amalfi Coast, Romagna, Puglia, Liguria are waiting to be discovered. You can also combine the holiday with an event even more special as the wedding by choosing from the wonderful locations that are located in Italy.

September

September is a great month to visit Italy also in name of its warm and enjoyable weather. Beaches and seaside areas are still blessed by pleasantly warm temperatures There are so many events throughout the month all over Italy and the choice is not easy but Italy Creative’s experts selected a few to choose from. There could be something for every taste: for the most romantic Verona is the most suitable place, for those who like to try a little thrill Ferrara with his hot air balloon festival is the right place, and the Potato festival in Bologna for gourmets, the very well known Regatta in the Gran Canal of Venice for those who love challenges.

October

October is the month of the food-related festivals, including the famous white truffle festival in Alba as well as other truffle festivals in central Italy, the best-known Perugia’s EuroChocolate. Aside from food festivals, if you are more of an art and history lover, October may be the best month to go around for the beautiful archaeological sites like The Foro Romano, in Rome city centre, or Ostia Antica, near Rome or Pompeii and Herculaneum near Naples. This month offers interesting cultural events across the country, but it is also the harvest period and the opening of the wineries where you can taste great wines like those in Tuscany (Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino…), in Lombardy (Gotturnio, Barbera, Sassella), in Piedmont (Nebbiolo, Barolo, Dolcetto D’alba), in Veneto (Amarone, Refosco, Valpolicella). All and each to add an unique charm to any vacation in Italy.
